Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a particulate removing catalyst filter in which an oxidizing catalyst is carried on the surface portions of an air-permeable substrate to a depth, based on the substrate and the catalyst, of up to 19% measured from the exposed surface of the catalyst through which the exhaust gas is adapted to be passed, and to a particulate removing catalyst filter in which a catalyst is carried on a thin wire net or metallic plate having a plurality of fine through-holes. The exhaust gas from a diesel engine is forcibly passed through the filter, thereby to remove particulates in the exhaust gas.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
253 words
A filter assembly, adapted to remove oxidizable particles from a fluid stream containing such, comprising: a honeycomb structure comprising a plurality of substantially parallel channel means, at least some of which channel means are defined by common walls which are sufficiently porous to allow the passage of at least some of said fluid therethrough, said channel means having first and second ends, each of which are open at one end and closed at the other end, such that open and closed ended channel means form an inlet side of said honeycomb structure in alternating relationship, and such that open and closed ended channel means form an opposite outlet side of said honeycomb structure in alternating relationship, with the open ended channel means of the inlet side of said honeycomb structure comprising the closed ended channel means of the outlet side of said honeycomb structure; and oxidizing catalyst means disposed at least on the surface of said channel walls to a depth, measured from the surface upon which said catalyst is disposed, of up to about 19% of the thickness of said channel walls, whereby the so defined structure is adapted to allow the passage of a fluid stream carrying said particles through said channel open ends on the inlet side of said honeycomb structure, through said common walls of said channel means, into effective contact with said catalyst on said walls, into adjacent channel means, and out the open ends of said adjacent channel means on the outlet side of said honeycomb structure.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A particulate removing catalyst filter according to claim 1, wherein the oxidizing catalyst is carried on both sides of said common walls.
